If school districts go 100% on line, should they be allowed to play ball?

School Boards across Iowa are faced with some tough decisions right now. The Des Moines Public School Board became the latest in the State last night to seek a waiver and begin the school year with 100% remote or on line learning.

But despite what would seem obvious to the rest of us, they also agreed to allow athletics and other activities to continue in person. This goes against Iowa's Department of Education guidance which states clearly "All in-person activities and practices would need to be suspended during the period of 100% remote learning. Offering in-person activities would be incompatible with the goal of mitigating higher rates of virus transmission. Extracurricular activities could still be conducted virtually."

DMPS is defiant however with their spokesman Phil Roeder telling KCCI that if anyone tries to stop them... "We will see what happens. We are entering uncharted territory."

What do you think? If school districts go 100% on line, should they be allowed to play ball?
